Tex Johnston and the Dash 80 Crew with William M. Allen

America entered the era of jet transportation on July 15, 1954, when the Boeing “Dash 80” prototype for both the KC-135 military tanker and the Model 707 commercial jet transport made its maiden flight from Renton Field, south of Seattle, Wash. The 144-foot-long Model 707 followed the KC-135 into production. On Oct. 26, 1958, Pan American World Airways inaugurated transatlantic 707 jet service between New York and Paris. Boeing custom-designed the 707s to meet a variety of airline requirements, including the 9-foot-shorter 720 for short to medium routes. The long-range 707-320 Intercontinental transport was most ordered and also was modified to become the first “Air Force One” presidential aircraft, as well as for the E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) and the E-6 submarine communications system.
